Let's play a game. How many suspected lies can you count?
Excerpts:
Colorado governor Hickenlooper said he wasn’t aware the sheriffs tried to speak to him while the controversial legislation was being debated in 2013.
He also said he had no idea that a new law requiring universal background checks would be controversial, despite the fact that hundreds of people turned up in protest of the bills — including dozens of county sheriffs, who’ve complained that Hickenlooper ignored them during the debate.
“I didn’t find out the sheriffs were trying to talk to me until a week afterwards.”
When pressed on the issue in Aspen by a sheriff who reminded Hickenlooper that he tried to see him in the governor’s office, Hickenlooper interrupted. “How many apologies do you want? What the f*ck?”
He said the law was passed without having had all the facts.
“So we were forming legislation without basic facts, which I think is a bad idea in every case. It took almost a month to get all the facts. By that time they already passed legislation that I said I was going to sign.” [So of course, he "had" to sign it, despite the fact that he now claims he knew it was bad by then.]

It gets better. He didn't really want to sign it, but a staffer made him do it.
One of my staff made the commitment that we would sign it it got passed. To be honest, no one in our office thought it would get through the legislature.
So when he finally found out how bad it was he had to sign it cause a staffer made a promise.
He also didn't speak to Bloomberg about the bill...then admitted he was mistaken and he did.
